    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern, and we in Community will try to help you in the best possible way we can.

    Try to perform Automatic Repair in Windows recovery tool that can fix certain system problems that might prevent Windows from starting. Automatic Repair scans your computer for the problem and then tries to fix it so your computer
    can start correctly. Download a Windows 10 ISO file in a DVD or USB using media creation tool.

    You may download an ISO from the below link:

    Download Windows 10

    a) After you boot your computer using Windows DVD or USB, a black screen appears with gray text "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press any key.

    b) Select the correct time and Keyboard type.

    c) Click Repair your computer in the lower left corner.

    d) Select Troubleshoot from Choose an option screen.

    e) Click advanced options in Troubleshoot screen.

    f) Select Automatic repair.

    Hope the information helps, if you have any further queries, feel free to post. We are here to assist you.

    Regards,

    Guru Kiran

    Is it stuck on attempting to get old updates back?

    Power on and off your computer three times

    On the third time, your computer will boot into the Advanced Recovery environment

    Click Advanced Options

    Click Troubleshoot

    Click Reset this PC

    Click Keep my files

    Choose your account

    Enter your password

    Click Continue

    Click Reset

    If brand new as straight from the factory, tell Dell to send you a RMA for you to send it back and get it replaced.

    That sounds like a dodgy PSU. There are ways of testing it if you need advice but I would get Dell to sort it out. Check if you have on site support as I did when I bought a new Dell laptop.
